Powering on the System
All external connection to the SOLO4 Bodywire transmitter should be
made, as described in the previous sections, before proceeding to
power on the system.
Users should ensure that a suitable receiver is available and configured
to the appropriate frequency before proceeding with the remainder of
this chapter (see handbook for the SOLO4 receiver or SOLO4
MicroVue)
Apply power to the transmitter
Power the transmitter directly from a 12V source, or from a connected
battery, allow 5 seconds for the transmitter to boot. Once the transmitter
has booted lock will occur at the receiver.
There are no external indicators on the transmitter.
If lock does not occur at the receiver, the following possibilities should
be considered.
RF Lock was not achieved at the Receiver
If power has been applied to the transmitter, but no RF lock has been
achieved at the receiver, then there are several possibilities, however
most of these possibilities require the connection of either the PC GUI
controller (see section on Advanced Operation), or the Field Gun (see
Field Gun section) to diagnose.
• The frequency of the receiver and transmitter are different. Use
PC Controller or Field Gun to change frequency.
• The RF Output of the transmitter is OFF. Use PC Controller or
Field Gun to set the RF output ON.
• The Modulation styles are set differently between the
transmitter and receiver. Use PC Controller or Field Gun to set
modulation styles to be the same.
• Check connections to the antennas and down converters at
each end.
Diagnostic On Screen Display
The SOLO2/SOLO4 Receiver is equipped with a diagnostic on screen
display. This facility will ‘burn’ diagnostic data onto the video output for
test and set-up purposes. Pressing the RF button will enable this facility
and a diagnostic screen will appear in the video as shown below.
